Ariana's Home📍
I woke up in Ariana's house not thinking much about it. I did everything I usually did when I woke up just not knowing I'm in someone else's home.
Faith's thoughts: "Mmm what time is it?" I rub my eyes.
Everything around me looked so familiar yet it didn't at the same time. My hair was a mess. I still had yesterday's make-up still on me.
I didn't think much about & walk into the kitchen to get myself a cup of coffee
Ariana: "Hey sleepy head."
Faith's thoughts: "Huh!?"
Faith: "Hi." I nod, taking a sip.
Then I realized I'm in her house looking like a freaking mess.
Ariana: "So this is what you look like when you wake up."
Faith: "I umm I forgot I slept the night here." I awkwardly fix my hair & my glasses.
Ariana: "Don't worry I wake up almost everyday with poofy hair & plus you look like a cute mess."
I slightly blush & drink my coffee to hide it. I fix my hair & glasses & then she shows me around. Her house was huge, I could get lost here.
Faith: "This house is huge, how do you live here all by yourself."
Ariana: "I don't live with my puppy's & Courtney."
That makes me wonder, I haven't seen her dogs around at all.
Toulouse & Lafayette tackle me down onto the floor. Ariana giggles watching them playing with me. In the corner of my eye I see Pignoli creeping around the corner.
Faith: "Ven aquí preciosa." I sit up & call her name.
Ariana: "She's shy around everybody, don't worry about her.
I nod & get up, having her back in my life is really helping me. It helps to forget what I've gone through those years without her.
Ariana: "You want to change, I might not have any clothing in your size but I might have some of my merch laying around."
Faith: "Ya sure."
We headed up stairs & she showed me her walk-in closet which was huge. I sit down & wait for her while she's looking through a box of clothing.
Ariana: "All I got are these sorry." She handed me her merch.
It was a shirt with her face on it & sweats with her logo & the words dangerous woman.
Faith: "It's fine I'm not picky." I change while she waits outside.
Downstairs finally with a fresh pair of clothes. Courtney was out for the day which left me Ariana. She should be focusing on her album, not me.
Faith: "Shouldn't you be working on your album."
Ariana: "Ya but it's fine I shouldn't overwork myself." She smiles. "Are you hungry?" She asks.
Faith: "Ya…you should finish your album we can do this another time."
Ariana has a smirk on her face.
Ariana: "Okay then you're going to help me."
Faith's thoughts: "What!?
It's been two years since I've touched any music equipment & I have my reasons for that.
Faith's thoughts: "I can't do it."
Faith: "Maybe another time." I smile weakly.
Ariana: "Well guess we are spending the day together, come." She grabs her stuff.
I follow right behind.
Faith's apartment📍
We headed to my place so I could change before we head out.
Ariana: "Do you want to go to a fast food place, Starbucks or a restaurant to eat?"
Faith: "Anywhere is fine with me really."
I come out & find her looking around & she's holding an old picture of me & my family.
Ariana: "Does your family live out here, it would be nice to meet them again."
Faith: "They don't, I'm ready let's go."
Ariana: "Well it would've been nice to…" I changed the subject.
Faith: "My family & I aren't on the best of terms okay, can we not talk about them."
She puts the photo down & we head out.

Starbucks📍
I couldn't stop thinking about what Faith said about her family, I thought they were close.
Cashier: "Ariana…Ariana Grande."
I smile & grab the drinks & walk back to the table sitting across from Faith.
Faith: "Thanks."
I want to ask her more about her family, I just don't want to come off too pushy.
Ariana thoughts: "I'll ask her about music ya slowly ease into it."
Ariana: "So umm how's the music going you know producing & everything." I nervously ask her.
Faith: "It's alright nothing really happening." She takes a sip of her coffee. "People are staring at us."
I turn around & see people taking pictures & I smile at them nervously.
Ariana: "Sorry, it kinda slips my mind, I don't always remember that I'm a famous celebrity." I sigh.
Faith: "Hey it's okay it can happen to anyone."
It's not okay. I wanted to hangout with her today & I forgot. When I'm really into things I never realized I'm famous, I just feel like a normal girl who doesn't have to worry about her celebrity duties.
Ariana: "This was supposed to just us hanging out, not everyone talking about us." I sigh. "My dumb ass really mess thing up." I smile nervously.
Faith: "I wouldn't say that, it's just part of career you know & it's not like you can choose whether they acknowledge you."
She's not wrong but we're getting off. I can still feel people looking over at our table, if we stay any longer the paparazzi will show up.
Ariana: "When do you have to go to work?
Faith: "In an hour or two, I'm not entirely sure."
Ariana: "You're not uncomfortable about everyone staring at you, if you are we can go." She did look uneasy to me.
Faith: "Nah I'm fine just feels weird having all the attention toward you."
We finished our drinks & we left & some fans stopped me & I greeted them. After all that I took her home so she could get ready for her job. I still felt horrible about it & also still couldn't get it off my mind, what she told me about her family.
Ariana's thoughts: "I'll make it up to you next time."

Mac's home📍
It was still on my mind with our horrible first day out with Faith.
Ariana's thoughts: "She's closed off & I can see that, I just want her to open like I have to her."
Even though I couldn't get that off my mind I hoped that Mac could.
I knocked on his door waiting, I didn't get a response. I tried the knob & it opened, I let myself in but it reeked of a horrible stench.
Ariana's thoughts: "He didn't over do it again did he!?" I start to get worried.
Ariana: "Mac Babe!!"
I head room to room looking for him & I find him lying on the bathroom floor.
Ariana: "Hey wake up!!" I nudged him. "Babe wake up!!"
He didn't wake up no matter how much I shake him. I pull my phone out in a panic to dial 911. But he grabs my hand, scaring me.
Ariana: "Don't scare me like that!!" I hug him tightly.
Mac: "You smell amazing."
I hug him tighter, he's not in the right state of mind, he overdid it. He's done this more than once I told him multiple times to stop, he never listens.
Ariana: "Don't you ever do this shit again ever!!" I say tearing up.
He smiles & just wipes away the tears.
Mac: "You're beautiful even when you cry."
I smile weakly.
Ariana: "You're an idiot." I punch his chest frustrated with him.
Mac: "I know." He pulls me close.
We stay like this for what feels like hours, I eventually take care of him, changing him out of his clothes & getting him a glass of water & pain relief.
He was never like this before but along the way, he always worried me. Yet I stayed in his life because I love him.
Mac: "You don't deserve this."
Ariana: "What are you talking about?" I nervously ask.
Mac: "Look around you, I'm a mess & I never listen…I just worry you all the time."
Ariana: "It's because you're an idiot my idiot & I worry because I love you."
He's an angel to me, I'll always be by his side.
Mac: "You deserve better, you deserve more than what I have to offer you."
I start to get nervous, thinking, knowing what he's about to tell me.
Ariana: "You're not thinking that are you?"
I look at him gripping the towel in my hand all nervous.
Mac: "Ya I am." He nods his head.
Ariana: "We'll get through this together like we talked about, I'm not leaving your side." He can't do this.
He was serious, I could tell. More than anything this was the last thing I ever wanted.
I reach for his hand & hold it.
Mac: "We can't do this anymore, not in the state that I'm in…I'm doing this for you, we need to break up."
That broke my heart, I started tearing up.
Ariana: "Hey, hey no we can't I'm not going to let this happen, I promised to stay by your side."
Mac: "Ariana you deserve someone better than me."
Ariana: "No I don't, I just need you." I start to tear up badly.
I could tell this was hard for him as it was hard for me. Maybe he's right, but I don't need anyone else but him.
Mac: "You don't deserve my problem!! I can't keep hurting you, I can't & I won't continue being with you if I can't help myself!!"
Ariana: "We'll get through this together, I love you." I say crying.
Mac: "I'm doing this for you." He gets up & opens the door. "Go, go, please!!"
I shaked my head no & I stood my ground.
He walks over to me & pulls me out & I fought him with all I could. Telling him that I didn't want this but he just didn't listen. It wasn't any good, I was out of his house, I fell against the door crying my heart out.

Faith's apartment📍
I went to Faith's apartment because I was worried. Something happened to Ari & she won't tell him, she says she's fine but I know otherwise.
Faith: "Hey what are you doing here?"
Courtney: "I know I shouldn't say any of this but Ari has been really close to you, I just feel like she's not telling me something I talk to her, maybe she'll open up to you."
Faith: "I don't know it's probably something she wants to keep to herself, I don't want to barge into her personal problems."
Courtney: "Who cares I did that with the both of & look how that went both of you are friends again."
I get up & get a glass of water. Something is up & I just want to help her.
Faith walks over to me.
Faith: "That's different & that is you not me, Ari wants us to know then she'll tell us herself."
She's right, but sometimes you gotta do things yourself or they won't help themselves.
Courtney's thoughts: "She needs our help just listen to me Faith."
Courtney: "If you won't do it for me then do it for Ari, cause I can't stand it when she acts like this, she closes herself off thinking no one will notice but I do."
We talk about this for an hour, if we don't help her who else would. I did all I could to convince Faith it was her choice whether she does it or not.
Courtney: "Just think about it okay, I gotta go I don't want to leave Ari alone." I smile at her.
We say our goodbye & I drive back home to her place.
Ariana's home📍
It was kinda quiet & it was worrying me, it made sense I found her sleeping on the couch surrounded by her pups.
Courtney's thoughts: "Am I over my head again, am I really worrying over nothing."
It made me think, just looking at her sleeping peacefully. I turned off the tv & sat there wondering what she was dreaming about.

Victoria: "Hey, how's Ari doing?"
Courtney: "The same, just feeling more down than usual but she won't tell a thing😞
Victoria: "Has she told you anything?"
Courtney: "No, which has me worried she usually tells us everything, just not this time
Victoria: "Hmmm🤔
Victoria: "Giver her space she probably need it rn
Courtney: Ya your right
Victoria: Just keep an eye on her alright.
Courtney: I will
I look up from my phone & just hope Faith will do the right thing & be by her side.
Courtney's thoughts: "Whatever is going on I want to help." I covered her with a blanket.
I smile weakly, still sitting right beside her, Toulouse laying down it seems like he knew something was up too.
Courtney: "Ya you're worried too, I feel ya, well figure out what's wrong don't worry." I pet his head.
Courtney: "We will."
